    Linux Bigot --Maybe Me -- but why does Windows NEED a registry


    Hi Folks

    Using Linux for YEARS with decent security -- and all though I like and use Windows too -- why on earth does Windows need a Registry either to keep security or check registration of "Paid For" software.

    There's plenty of "Paid For" software available for Linux that doesn't seem to require any sort of "Registry and licenses work OK".

    Linux paid for Licences seem to work too -- so what's the point of "The Registry". (Although most software is actually FREE on LINUX there's still a few commercial paid for products that aren't hideous either !!!)

    Look Folks I Like Windows-- but I don't get this whole registry thing.

    Any Widows Gurus here who can expain the point of it -- be glad to hear.

    Cheers
    jimbo

    Guide: How to enable, use, and configure SLI on Linux.

    I guess the next logical step would be to report on the performance you can get with SLI in Linux. That'd be my suggestion anyway.
